NHHC NMUSN Industry Day Notice

Industry Day Notice

The National Museum of the United States Navy (NMUSN) will sponsor an Industry Forum on Wednesday, June 4, 2025 from 0900 to 1600, at the Washington Navy Yard in the National Museum of the United States Navy, Building 76.

This full-day conference is designed to collaborate with our industry partners who team with the Naval History and Heritage Command’s (NHHC) NMUSN to provide an update on opportunities of future projects, including the building of the new National Museum of the United States Navy. The forum offers a chance to participate in briefings, a Q & A session, and an opportunity for one-on-one sessions. Innovative ideas, suggestions and methods discussed during the conference could potentially be used to draft the performance specifications and contract structure of the solicitation for the future projects.

Due to parking constraints on the Washington Navy Yard, all attendees will have to park off-site or take other transportation means to get to the event. There will be NO visitor parking on the Washington Navy Yard, unless you have a valid Common Access Card (CAC). All attendees will have to enter the installation through the O St. Gate. If the attendee would like to make arrangements prior to the event with the host to drop off displays, handouts, or materials, please contact Sonja Velaj at Sonja.velaj.civ@us.navy.mil and Justin Barlow at Justin.j.barlow.civ@us.navy.mil.
